A not so trivial social circumstance embedded in the world class criminal event of Turkey’s Erdogan whoring himself to the other NATO states in the Syria ‘regime change’ efforts is the following social phenomenon: Erdogan and the western democracies embracing Saudi Arabia and it’s Wahhabi extreme (dark ages) philosophy from which the Salafi al Qaida & Islamic State were born; Erdogan with apparent sincerity, the western democracies ‘great game’ engaged intelligence agencies as a matter of cynical convenience, resulting in a compound fracture of Turkish society as the conservative (Wahhabi aligned) elements persecute the formerly mainstream Sufi Islam of moderation. This process will ultimately radicalize and has already polarized the entire nation-state of Turkey. In meanwhile, the CIA’s manipulation of the Sufi identified Fetullah Gulen provides Turkey’s closet Wahhabi Erdogan all the excuse he needs to wage internal war on Sufis of every persuasion, in his drive to consolidate power over ‘democratic’ principles. What follows is cynical description of bellicose and murderous developments both caused by & embraced by (behind closed doors), as well denied for the public perception/deception by the principal responsible parties, that is the NATO states. Turkey is the critical front-line staging ground of what otherwise would be an impossible task, the overthrow of Assad. Whether Saudi Arabia, Israel, USA, UK, France or Germany, all NATO and NATO aligned states contributing to the ‘regime change’ in Syria depend on Turkey to get the job done. Let’s have a bit of a longer look at how that plan is working out:

It would appear the (CIA concubine) Associated Press took over two weeks to decide whether, then when, and finally how to report 30 journalists from Zaman newspaper in Turkey are being prosecuted with multiple life in prison sentences to run consecutively. I suppose three life sentences, applied consecutively, should mean Sultan Erdogan of Turkey controls not only this life but as well, the afterlife, that’s two life sentences, and then? Not to worry, the Sultan’s legal minions are working on this philosophy of law problem, initial indications are it will be solved with multiple, consecutive ex post facto death sentences, that is, as soon as the ‘Rumsfeld-Cheney Afterlife Dilemma‘ can be solved:

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced to raucous supporters, chanting “we want the death penalty,” that his government is bent on reinstating capital punishment retroactively to execute those behind the abortive coup in July”

Of Sultan Erdogan’s 50,000 accused ‘coup plotters’ (from the 150,000 purged from Turkey’s institutions), the Zaman journalists are a little bit unique; having seen their newspaper seized and investigations-prosecutions initiated in March 2016, months previous to the July 2016 attempted coup itself. Now, this would indicate not only did the reporters direct the coup plot from jail, all of the 50,000 subsequently identified coup plotters somehow managed to keep the coming coup secret and managed to surprise the sultan; common folk wisdom notwithstanding:

“Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead” -Benjamin Franklin

No element of any witch-hunt in Sultan Erdogan’s prosecutions to now, eh, Sherlock? What’s more is, I doubt Al Gore should be able to copyright the expression ‘inconvenient truth’ when it comes to the heat rising in a social climate; particularly when it so happens the Associated Press coverage, sans planned for, retroactive, death sentences of the Zaman journalists following on consecutive life sentences, AP also neglects altogether to mention the really creepy bug the Zaman reporters had put up Sultan Erdogan’s butt – and why the Zaman ‘coup plotters’ were arrested months before the ‘surprise’ coup – as it just so happens Zaman had dared print result (preserved article) of investigation from 2013 revealing the sultan’s intelligence chief, Hakan Fidan, had arranged sarin deliveries to Islamic militants in Syria, the very same sarin used to murder roughly 1,300 ordinary Syrians, all to be blamed on Assad:

After all, going to the idea the Zaman newspaper had been aligned with CIA asset Fetullah Gulen, none of this ‘the sultan’s people did it’ allegations could possibly be true, correct? And I suppose that means by similar logic none of this following, very competently assembled information, could be true either; because it’d been put together by the self-appointed crusaders & perfectly, socially stupid Islamophobes at Jihad Watch, meanwhile noting there’s nothing like a little hate to motivate one digging into a despised NATO ally’s dirty laundry:

Turkey provides military equipment to Islamic State

An ISIS commander told The Washington Post on August 12, 2014: “Most of the fighters who joined us in the beginning of the war came via Turkey, and so did our equipment and supplies.”

Kemal Kiliadaroglu, head of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), produced a statement from the Adana Office of the Prosecutor on October 14, 2014 maintaining that Turkey supplied weapons to terror groups. He also produced interview transcripts from truck drivers who delivered weapons to the groups. According to Kiliadaroglu, the Turkish government claims the trucks were for humanitarian aid to the Turkmen, but the Turkmen said no humanitarian aid was delivered.

According to CHP Vice President Bulent Tezcan, three trucks were stopped in Adana for inspection on January 19, 2014. The trucks were loaded with weapons in Esenboga Airport in Ankara. The drivers drove the trucks to the border, where a MIT agent was supposed to take over and drive the trucks to Syria to deliver materials to ISIS and groups in Syria. This happened many times. When the trucks were stopped, MIT agents tried to keep the inspectors from looking inside the crates. The inspectors found rockets, arms, and ammunitions.

Cumhuriyet reports that Fuat Avni, a preeminent Twitter user who reported on the December 17th corruption probe, that audio tapes confirm that Turkey provided financial and military aid to terrorist groups associated with Al Qaeda on October 12, 2014. On the tapes, Erdogan pressured the Turkish Armed Forces to go to war with Syria. Erdogan demanded that Hakan Fidan, the head of Turkey’s National Intelligence Agency (MIT), come up with a justification for attacking Syria.

Documents surfaced on September 19th, 2014 showing that the Saudi prince Bander Bin Sultan financed the transportation of arms to ISIS through Turkey. A flight leaving Germany dropped off arms in the Etimesgut airport in Turkey, which was then split into three containers, two of which were given to ISIS and one to Gaza.

Turkey Provided Transport and Logistical Assistance to ISIS Fighters

According to Radikal on June 13, 2014, Interior Minister Muammar Guler signed a directive: “According to our regional gains, we will help al-Nusra militants against the branch of PKK terrorist organization, the PYD, within our borders…Hatay is a strategic location for the mujahideen crossing from within our borders to Syria. Logistical support for Islamist groups will be increased, and their training, hospital care, and safe passage will mostly take place in Hatay…MIT and the Religious Affairs Directorate will coordinate the placement of fighters in public accommodations.”

The Daily Mail reported on August 25, 2014 that many foreign militants joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq after traveling through Turkey, but Turkey did not try to stop them. This article describes how foreign militants, especially from the UK, go to Syria and Iraq through the Turkish border. They call the border the “Gateway to Jihad.” Turkish army soldiers either turn a blind eye and let them pass, or the jihadists pay the border guards as little as $10 to facilitate their crossing.

Britain’s Sky News obtained documents showing that the Turkish government has stamped passports of foreign militants seeking to cross the Turkey border into Syria to join ISIS.

The BBC interviewed villagers, who claim that buses travel at night, carrying jihadists to fight Kurdish forces in Syria and Iraq, not the Syrian Armed Forces.

A senior Egyptian official indicated on October 9, 2014 that Turkish intelligence is passing satellite imagery and other data to ISIS.

Turkey Provided Training to ISIS Fighters

CNN Turk reported on July 29, 2014 that in the heart of Istanbul, places like Duzce and Adapazari, have become gathering spots for terrorists. There are religious orders where ISIS militants are trained. Some of these training videos are posted on the Turkish ISIS propaganda website takvahaber.net. According to CNN Turk, Turkish security forces could have stopped these developments if they had wanted to.

Turks who joined an affiliate of ISIS were recorded at a public gathering in Istanbul, which took place on July 28, 2014.

A video shows an ISIS affiliate holding a prayer/gathering in Omerli, a district of Istanbul. In response to the video, CHP Vice President, MP Tanrikulu submitted parliamentary questions to the Minister of the Interior, Efkan Ala, asking questions such as, “Is it true that a camp or camps have been allocated to an affiliate of ISIS in Istanbul? What is this affiliate? Who is it made up of? Is the rumor true that the same area allocated for the camp is also used for military exercises?”

Kemal KiliÃ§daroglu warned the AKP government not to provide money and training to terror groups on October 14, 2014. He said, “It isn’t right for armed groups to be trained on Turkish soil. You bring foreign fighters to Turkey, put money in their pockets, guns in their hands, and you ask them to kill Muslims in Syria. We told them to stop helping ISIS. Ahmet Davutoglu asked us to show proof. Everyone knows that they’re helping ISIS.” (See HERE and HERE.)

According to Jordanian intelligence, Turkey trained ISIS militants for special operations.

Turkey Offers Medical Care to ISIS Fighters

An ISIS commander told the Washington Post on August 12, 2014, “We used to have some fighters — even high-level members of the Islamic State — getting treated in Turkish hospitals.”

Taraf reported on October 12, 2014 that Dengir Mir Mehmet Firat, a founder of the AKP, said that Turkey supported terrorist groups and still supports them and treats them in hospitals. “In order to weaken the developments in Rojova (Syrian Kurdistan), the government gave concessions and arms to extreme religious groups…the government was helping the wounded. The Minister of Health said something such as, it’s a human obligation to care for the ISIS wounded.”

According to Taraf, Ahmet El H, one of the top commanders at ISIS and Al Baghdadi’s right hand man, was treated at a hospital in Sanliurfa, Turkey, along with other ISIS militants. The Turkish state paid for their treatment. According to Taraf’s sources, ISIS militants are being treated in hospitals all across southeastern Turkey. More and more militants have been coming in to be treated since the start of airstrikes in August. To be more specific, eight ISIS militants were transported through the Sanliurfa border crossing; these are their names: “Mustafa A., Yusuf El R., Mustafa H., Halil El M., Muhammet El H., Ahmet El S., Hasan H., [and] Salim El D.”

Turkey Supports ISIS Financially Through Purchase of Oil

On September 13, 2014, The New York Times reported on the Obama administration’s efforts to pressure Turkey to crack down on ISIS extensive sales network for oil. James Phillips, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, argues that Turkey has not fully cracked down on ISIS’s sales network because it benefits from a lower price for oil, and that there might even be Turks and government officials who benefit from the trade.

Fehim Tastekin wrote in Radikal on September 13, 2014 about illegal pipelines transporting oil from Syria to nearby border towns in Turkey. The oil is sold for as little as 1.25 liras per liter. Tastekin indicated that many of these illegal pipelines were dismantled after operating for 3 years, once his article was published.

According to Diken and OdaTV, David Cohen, a Justice Department official, says that there are Turkish individuals acting as middlemen to help sell ISIS’s oil through Turkey.

On October 14, 2014, a German Parliamentarian from the Green Party accused Turkey of allowing the transportation of arms to ISIS over its territory, as well as the sale of oil.

Turkey Assists ISIS Recruitment

Kemal Kiliadaroglu claimed on October 14, 2014 that ISIS offices in Istanbul and Gaziantep are used to recruit fighters. On October 10, 2014, the mufti of Konya said that 100 people from Konya joined ISIS 4 days ago. (See HERE and HERE.)

OdaTV reports that Takva Haber serves as a propaganda outlet for ISIS to recruit Turkish-speaking individuals in Turkey and Germany. The address where this propaganda website is registered corresponds to the address of a school called Irfan Koleji, which was established by Ilim Yayma Vakfi, a foundation that was created by Erdogan and Davutoglu, among others. It is thus claimed that the propaganda site is operated from the school of the foundation started by AKP members.

Minister of Sports, Suat Kilic, an AKP member, visited Salafi jihadists who are ISIS supporters in Germany. The group is known for reaching out to supporters via free Quran distributions and raising funds to sponsor suicide attacks in Syria and Iraq by raising money.

OdaTV released a video allegedly showing ISIS militants riding a bus in Istanbul.

Turkish Forces Are Fighting Alongside ISIS

On October 7, 2014, IBDA-C, a militant Islamic organization in Turkey, pledged support to ISIS. A Turkish friend who is a commander in ISIS suggests that Turkey is “involved in all of this” and that “10,000 ISIS members will come to Turkey.” A Huda-Par member at the meeting claims that officials criticize ISIS but in fact sympathize with the group (Huda-Par, the “Free Cause Party”, is a Kurdish Sunni fundamentalist political party). BBP member claims that National Action Party (MHP) officials are close to embracing ISIS. In the meeting, it is asserted that ISIS militants come to Turkey frequently to rest, as though they are taking a break from military service. They claim that Turkey will experience an Islamic revolution, and Turks should be ready for jihad. (See HERE and HERE.)

Seymour Hersh maintains in the London Review of Books that ISIS conducted sarin attacks in Syria, and that Turkey was a party. “For months there had been acute concern among senior military leaders and the intelligence community about the role in the war of Syria’s neighbors, especially Turkey. Prime Minister Recep Erdogan was known to be supporting the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist faction among the rebel opposition, as well as other Islamist rebel groups. ‘We knew there were some in the Turkish government,’ a former senior US intelligence official, who has access to current intelligence, told me, ‘who believed they could get Assad’s nuts in a vice by dabbling with a sarin attack inside Syria – and forcing Obama to make good on his red line threat.”

On September 20, 2014, Demir Celik, a Member of Parliament with the people’s democratic party (HDP) claimed that Turkish Special Forces fight with ISIS.

Turkey Helped ISIS in Battle for Kobani

Anwar Moslem, Mayor of Kobani, said on September 19, 2014: “Based on the intelligence we got two days before the breakout of the current war, trains full of forces and ammunition, which were passing by north of Kobane, had an-hour-and-ten-to-twenty-minute-long stops in these villages: Salib Qaran, Gire Sor, Moshrefat Ezzo. There are evidences, witnesses, and videos about this. Why is ISIS strong only in Kobane’s east? Why is it not strong either in its south or west? Since these trains stopped in villages located in the east of Kobane, we guess they had brought ammunition and additional force for the ISIS.” In the second article on September 30, 2014, a CHP delegation visited Kobani, where locals claimed that everything from the clothes ISIS militants wear to their guns comes from Turkey. (See HERE and HERE.)

Released by Nuhaber, a video shows Turkish military convoys carrying tanks and ammunition moving freely under ISIS flags in the Cerablus region and Karkamis border crossing (September 25, 2014). There are writings in Turkish on the trucks.

Salih Muslim, PYD head, claims that 120 militants crossed into Syria from Turkey between October 20th and 24th, 2014.

According to an op-ed written by a YPG commander in The New York Times on October 29, 2014, Turkey allows ISIS militants and their equipment to pass freely over the border.

Diken reported, “ISIS fighters crossed the border from Turkey into Syria, over the Turkish train tracks that delineate the border, in full view of Turkish soldiers. They were met there by PYD fighters and stopped.”

A Kurdish commander in Kobani claims that ISIS militants have Turkish entry stamps on their passports.

Kurds trying to join the battle in Kobani are turned away by Turkish police at the Turkey-Syrian border.

OdaTV released a photograph of a Turkish soldier befriending ISIS militants.

Now, if this preceding is too much to absorb, let’s look at one paragraph in particular, backing up the Zaman reporting it was the Turkish sultan’s ‘turks’ had gassed the Syrians:

“Seymour Hersh maintains in the London Review of Books that ISIS conducted sarin attacks in Syria, and that Turkey was a party. “For months there had been acute concern among senior military leaders and the intelligence community about the role in the war of Syria’s neighbors, especially Turkey. Prime Minister Recep Erdogan was known to be supporting the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist faction among the rebel opposition, as well as other Islamist rebel groups. ‘We knew there were some in the Turkish government,’ a former senior US intelligence official, who has access to current intelligence, told me, ‘who believed they could get Assad’s nuts in a vice by dabbling with a sarin attack inside Syria – and forcing Obama to make good on his red line threat.””

In other words, independent intelligence sources back up the Zaman’s claim the sarin attack originated in Turkey, with the Turkish sultan’s ‘turks’ entirely responsible. Anyone see a problem here? Here’s the simple math:

The Zaman newspaper is aligned with Fetullah Gulen, a CIA asset. Therefor none of its reporting, which happens in the sarin case to line up with a renown reporter’s independent intelligence sources, is credible. That should suit the CIA because their own asset had just performed this next:

The Turkish intelligence did it facts are revealed in Turkey’s parliament by decidedly NOT-GULEN-ALIGNED deputies of the CHP or Peoples’ Party, complete with dossier containing phone tap records. Ow. Shit.

French intelligence claims ‘Assad did it’ in 2017 because the 2017 chemical signatures match the ‘Assad did it’ samples from 2013. Say what? Judging from DGSE boss (French CIA) Bernard Bajolet’s retarded smirk in this file photo, no one outside of Mad Magazine should take French intelligence seriously:

If you miss the significance of this immediate preceding, what the moron Bajolet’s people had just done is, IF this were true, made a case it was the same process, precursor chemicals and people (the Turkey supplied Islamic militants) which had gassed the Syrians in 2013, had done it again in 2017. That’s the only reasonable conclusion when French intelligence claims a chemical match for both sets of victims. Of course this should pose no real problem for western intelligence agencies with Sultan Erdogan piling on multiple life sentences (with retroactive death sentences in the works) for not only the Zaman reporters but the civil judges, police and prosecutors who’d investigated and, as well, the decidedly NOT-GULEN aligned parliamentarians who’d brought forward it was Turkey provided the sarin into public purview.

“About the shipment, Republic prosecutor of Adana, Mehmet Arıkan, made an operation and the related people were detained. But as far as I understand he was not an influential person in bureaucracy. A week after, another public prosecutor was assigned, took over the indictment and all the detainees were released. And they left Turkey crossing the Syrian border.

“The phone recordings in the indictment showed all the details from how the shipment was going to be made to how it was prepared, from the content of the labs to the source of the materials. Which trucks were going to be used, all dates etc. From A to Z, everything was discussed and recorded. Despite all of this evidence, the suspects were released.

“And the shipment happened,” Erdem added. “Because no one stopped them. That’s why maybe the sarin gas used in Syria is a result of this”

So, what gives here? By the numbers again:

The CIA either does not control Gulen, or Gulen, if indeed a CIA asset, did not control the Zaman newspaper when it came to initial reporting of the actual facts on the sarin attack in Syria. This information, widely known, would be badly damaging to the false-flag ‘regime change’ endeavors of NATO’s USA, UK, France and Germany’s intelligence agencies, without exception, all heads of which had goose-stepped together with Turkey in the ‘Assad did it’ geopolitical false-flag gambit.

The rather helpless western democracies protests, replete with crocodile tears and sanctimonious hand-wringing for the press notwithstanding, those very EU & NATO nations are clearly in debt to Erdogan’s forcefully crushing the Zaman’s (and other media) reporting and will no doubt be grateful behind closed doors the Zaman reporters, civil judges, police & prosecutors, as well the courageous parliamentarians will ultimately be put to death in Turkey’s coming ‘color of law’ bloodbath that will literally bury the most damning witnesses to NATO’s crime spree in Syria.

Turkey is the sole front-line state bordering Syria, that is also hostile to Syria, with the necessary developed infrastructure to carry out the major undertaking of overcoming a well organized Syrian army in order to overthrow Assad’s regime. It follows, with making insincere protestations, looking the other way, and/or taking advantage of the criminal circumstance in Turkey to effect regime change, the NATO nations and allies are fully complicit in Turkey’s Erdogan crimes via the legal concept of ‘accessory.’

After all is done, Turkey fractures into pieces, not only Syria.

Where is our alternative press and dissident journalists on this story? Waiting for Erdogan to employ his in the works ‘color of law’ ex post facto death penalties and execute the most relevant and ‘sanguine’ witnesses, so our journalists can say: Oops. Sorry about that. Well, we did wait a bit long to look at what was going down, now didn’t we? Uh, I suppose we can’t report without the witnesses, now can we?

F**K-HEADS.

Sundry notes:

The western multinational (read oil companies, CIA & Pentagon) covert efforts to break away the Kurdish regions in Iraq, Syria and, ultimately Turkey & Iran, into an independent Kurdistan, is fraught with danger. The Kurds, the largest stateless ‘minority’ in the world, are certainly deserving of their own state via a right of self-determination. But this proud people, who’d produced one of history’s great figures, Saladin, are receiving their new beginning in this circumstance with an attending NATO curse.

The European Union relationship to Turkey has been a farce for quite some time. It is better described as a relationship of bribery and blackmail; politicians on both sides know (and have known for a long time) there will be no Turkey membership in the EU. The ongoing pretense had been a perfect hypocrisy, the will never existed on either parties part. More recently, the EU bribes (‘take our billions and keep the refugee floodgates closed’) and Turkey blackmails (‘give us visa free regime so we can more easily pursue the revenge of the Ottomans or we’ll open the refugee flood again.’) Multiculturalism is a failed experiment on all parties part, largely because secularism was never socially mature enough in Europe’s Christian or Islamic communities.

The Gulen educational organization, while no doubt infiltrated and used by CIA for purposes of laundering terror in the Islamic world, would nevertheless be a circumstance where 90%+ of its employees are unsuspecting and sincere innocents/educators; in a situation where the controlling parties on either side of the CIA-Erdogan divide are so corrupt, no one would know what to believe and so couldn’t believe any of the conflicting claims. Whether Gulen himself is aware of the extent of intelligence agency crime laundered through his organization is open to question. Almost certainly most of the clandestine aspect fall under a circumstance of ‘what Gulen doesn’t know, won’t hurt him.’

Yeah, I found the original story, I’ll link it here. It’s no secret Israel (denials notwithstanding) has al Qaida ties and has rendered ‘humanitarian’ aid (medical care) at the very least to Salifis fighting Assad. That just makes them equal to the Saudis and USA, UK, France and Germany in the Assad overthrow endeavors…

[…] a crime to criticize himself. Thirty journalists from the opposition newspaper Zaman are now facing life in prison sentencing from courts that will do whatever the president wants and there have also been demands […]
